Malta Maritime Museum

Very nice small museum dedicated to docks and ships. Worth visiting as part of a combo ticket with the fortress and the Inquisitorial Palace. Personally, I recommend not to miss the lovely British Ladies' Diary on the top floor, which provides an insight into upper class life at the turn of the last century. Fun! Then the audiovisual installation at the end of the tour is amazing. Just wow.

This museum is great for anyone interested in ships and the history of the dockyards of Malta. Doesn't take too long either to see everything within. Maybe an hour and a half at the max if you read everything at each stall. Has a lot of ship equipment too such as cannons, tools and more. At the end there is a "dockyard experience". It's maybe 10 minutes long but it's just a few projectors showing some animations of dock work going on. It's based in a medium sized room. This is the only reason I'm taking a star away is because it's not as good as I was expecting. Apart from that, I highly recommend.

This museum was fine but too much time was spent on the dockworkers bit at the end for my liking, but it’s fair enough as it is a big part of the local history. I would have preferred to have had the option to miss it. The older stuff was very interesting though. I liked reading the travel diaries

Feels very empty and very few artifacts which feel note worthy. The building is under reconstruction , while this is acceptable the way down from the third floor is a scafolding staircase, this isnt required but is purely done to maintain a 1 way system. The av dockyard experience was very interesting. Overall i Guess i was expecting more oh a History on the development of the dockyard post WW2. More about the ships and less of the general industry which made it feel very broad and unspecific. Malta pass was very convenient for visiting this site , highly recommend

Sadly is closed for renovation (zoom the picture) but I bet is a great museum so I'm giving it 5 stars. Hope to be back to see how it went.

In the middle of a renovation but still a fantastic range of artifacts and information. The Immersive Dockyard experience at the end is fantastic from the creaky floorboards to the aromas, sights and sounds it crowns a great visit

I give it three stars, because I was expecting more of a nation looking back at more than 500 years of naval history. This small museum is preserving a selection of relicts from French and Italian occupation as well as the ship construction under British reign. Some highlights are a handwritten letter from Napoleon Bonaparte. There could have been more information about the Saint John’s knights and the ships they used for the crusades and how they were specially equipped for this purpose,…

The last experience with moving things and the 360 video is nice, everything else is kinda okaaaay. It’s difficult to follow just having some pieces of different things. They have screens for each item that just show the item with the description. I didn’t understand the function of the screens there. Like QRs that could lead to the website would be better in this case. Because the item is exhibited anyway, the screens just attract too much attention for nothing that you don’t even notice the object itself.
